If this interview is anything like the Metal Injection one they did, it should be a great time.

Lyrical themes on the album.
Are there any personal anecdotes, inside jokes?
Do they continue the theme of mental illness that seems to pervade their writing ?(well, Clients, and at least some of Prey for Eyes)
Often times there's quite a bit going on there (references to everything from Bruce Willis to Genghis Khan to bad Canadian TV, hell, their name's a nod to an opera), and despite having yet to peruse a lyric sheet, I'm sure this album's no exception.

For the guy asking what they do about the rhythm tracks live,
I just saw them at a very intimate local show in Traverse City (the maximum limit was 150 people in the venue), and Gunface's pedalboard is huge. He runs a 5150 racked up through an Orange 4x12, then some sort of Orange (thunderverb, maybe?) through another Orange 4x12. He has amp switching to do rhythm trade off licks, and normally records the rhythm track with the looper to play through one amp, turns on the loop, switches to the other amp, and then plays the leads. That's what it sounded like, anyway.
And just because I think I'm cool:
